I agree that its not fair to expect them to pay due to not having any revenue. But that should only be on those amounts due since lockdown. From the sound of it this amount is old when they had the revenue to pay, as such they should. Why Government agencies consistently allow companies to run bills up to the point they can't afford is beyond. me
Agree, especially after the first lockdowns. Not sure people get that companies just don't have the money to pay out. They will then declare bankruptcy instead and the employees will be lucky to get what is due to them in a couple years. All that would mean is the economic recovery will be put off for longer as companies that are operating currently with 20% staff will not be operating at all.
In the 60s i would guess there was more foreigners then there are now. I have heard that all the banks downtown were expat, the teachers as well and many others. So that last line doesn't appear correct.
Not sure you can blame Minnis on this one. It was whoever signed the initial agreement to give them all those breaks. Now if there are clauses that Albany should have done and didn't then yes blame Minnis as they should use that to say breech of contract and void the whole lot.
Yet again a party apologist (for either party), can not see how bad the situation is. If all true it shows blatant corruption. But because it was done with the help of the party this man supports its OK and we should look at the other party. More and more Bahamians are tired of both parties and their uselessness at helping this country. Maybe if Mr. Allen, and many others like him, put Bahamas first instead of his beloved PLP (or FNM for others) this country could move forward. Until then we will will meander from crisis to crisis getting closer and closer to collapse, whilst listening to apologists like Mr. Allen say but what about the other side. Useless.
